The Center Square Daily | May 8, 2026 | New UFO Files are in the Shadows of the BLACK BUDGET

The Department of War launches a website dedicated to UFO information and Minnesota Republicans call on Congress for help in their investigation of Feeding Our Future and U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar's relationship to it.  On this episode of The Center Square Daily, host Greg Bishop looks at a new batch of UFO and UAP-related files released by the Pentagon, including military videos, astronaut audio recordings, and decades-old documents tied to unidentified aerial phenomena. This release renews debate over secret government programs and how taxpayer money is spent on classified military and intelligence operations. The disclosure also raises fresh questions about oversight as defense spending continues to climb and the Department of War faces ongoing audit failures.  Meanwhile, fraud investigations are unfolding in several states across the country. In Minnesota, Republican lawmakers are asking Congress for help subpoenaing records tied to Ilhan Omar as part of a broader investigation into alleged state fraud and oversight failures. In Michigan, a former board member of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation is facing multiple felony charges tied to an alleged scheme involving roughly $20 million in grant funding. And in Milwaukee, prosecutors have charged a woman with Medicaid fraud as officials continue investigating misuse of public assistance funds.  Plus America's Talking with headlines from across the country:    California - GOP lawmakers talk about voter ID initiative; Dems stay mum  New York - Hochul, New York lawmakers, reach deal on $268B budget  Louisiana - Regulators weighing new rules for data centers, major power users  Pennsylvania - Bill supporting power grid longevity passes House  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
